Overheard:”Glad it’s not April Fool’s, now I can trust the news again!”
Me: 😂

I love older scientific videos and books. They are almost always of better quality for learning than what we put out now. Here's a great example.

Anyone else noticing that EVERY online account you have these days requires 2 factor authentication with your cell phone? Not only that but everyone also has their own crummy app that you have to install to interact/pay bills. It is super annoying and inconvenient. It might be OK if our phones actually ran the software that we wanted but, as it is, they belong more to Apple/Google than to us. If I log into an account from a different computer, I get locked out. Thinking of going back to paper.

@Berrybunchfamily They were out in force at dusk yesterday and one was struck by a vehicle and died. It was a pretty clean kill, but Mary wasn’t down to harvest it. I’m not actually sure what the law is regarding that, but I have no objections to taking food, of good quality, that would otherwise go to waste.

@HiroProtagonist Re-watched this a couple years ago. Good movie, that hopefully stays fiction.

Hello deer!

@neauoire @ritualdust @rek
This is a little clearer.

@neauoire @ritualdust @rek It would be neat if you could build that into a storage system. Shims and a mallet might be the simplest way.

I promise it is not "Be sure to drink your Ovaltine", also I used the tool OutGuess to create it.

What do you non-techies know about encryption? There is something called steganography that allows encrypted data to be hidden in plain sight. This picture has a hidden message inside and the passkey is "steganography". Anyone want to take a crack at retrieving the message?

@Cherishingsparrows2020 Yes, but it would be out of pocket until repair costs hit around 15k. If a claim is filed, I expect the insurance company will fight it in this case.

@MisterRogersSnapped Noticing this too.

Very windy today to the point that it was hard to walk. Told someone to tie my machine down when they used it…they didn’t. I hope it is able to be repaired. If not, that mistake was as costly as wrecking a couple of trucks.

@eriol @loweel I do believe most people vastly underestimate what it would take to set up a permanent colony, and Mars would be a depressing place to live even if you did. A biosphere under the surface would be the only possibility for long term habitation. If we could figure out how to do that here, people could live pretty much anywhere on earth, and it would be 100x easier.

Why have there been no further attempts at the Biosphere project? It’s been almost 30 years. With people talking about space/Mars colonization and panic over climate change, it seems like a good idea to know how to live in a closed system. Maybe it’s just me, but when I start managing small things well, that momentum grows to larger projects. If we knew the minimum amount of resources required to keep people happy and healthy in a sustainable way, I think we could manage the world better.
